CAPSUN ProAudio Release Berlin Drum Machines

5 Mar, 2016

Minimal. Classic. Unique.Berlin Drum Machines is an all new source of analogue and analogue style drum hits and loops created using boutique hardware machines. The perfect way to introduce some real electronic drums to your production, wether it be Minimal Techno, Downtempo Beats or Hip-Hop. A project conceived in Berlin and completed in Brighton over 6 months, we’ve created an entire building blocks system allowing you to create original, developing patterns by simply linking together any of the 400+ WAV Drum Loops, 400+ Rex2 Drum Loops or alternatively load up any of the 115 brand new Drum & Percussion One Shots.

The sounds in this collection have been created exclusively for CAPSUN ProAudio by Berlin based producer and sound designer Andrej Imamovic. The sounds were sourced and hand crafted from a host of analogue drum machines and synths from manufacturers including MFB, Waldorf, Korg and Nord. Created to not just capture the sounds but to produce original sounding hits to inspire. After being sampled through a high quality analogue preamp, a light amount of processing was applied jto bring out the best in the samples but with lots of headroom left for experimentation and further process.

All 5 Drum Machines – Ambient Machine, Clean Machine, Fat Machine, Indie Machine & Vintage Machine – have been built into their own 16 Pad Drum Kit sample patches for NI Maschine and Reason Kong. The Maschine kits include demo patterns and kits have been mixed and Group Insert FX applied (editable).

Kontakt Drum Machine Players

Multiple Kontakt instruments for each Drum Machine have been created with the loops built into custom Kontakt loop playing instruments featuring 4 octaves of Tempo Synced Drum Loops per player, assigned to keys that are MIDI and Key controllable. 1 bar continuous looping building blocks – Full Loops on the white keys and Drum Fills on the black keys allow you to instantly build up original sequences. We have even colour coded the keys for Machine and Komplete Kontrol S-Series keyboard users.

Dr Octo Rex Drum Machine Players

Similar to the Kontakt loop playing instruments, we have harnessed the power of Reason’s Dr Octo Rex and Rex2 file system to build samplers that take advantage of our 1 bar building blocks system to build sequences using MIDI to trigger. 8 loops per Dr Octo Rex sampler – 6 Full Loops and 2 Drum Fills.

Kontakt & NN-XT Instruments

Multiple Kontakt and NN-XT instruments with individual drum one shots and melodic percs are included. One shots have been mapped to the keys in individual samplers for each machine.
